    They Finally Caught This Scammer

    OFF-TOPIC 
    First off I want to say that I don't like preoccupying my time with drama and speculation, and it's unlike me to post "gossip" like this.

    Being Productive During This Crisis

    MINDSET RANT 
    It's no secret we're in a strange time. We're being told to stay in our homes and only leave if it's essential.
